REDUCTION OF LATERAL FORCES BETWEEN THE RAILWAY VEHICLE AND THE TRACK IN SMALL-RADIUS CURVES BY MEANS OF ACTIVE ELEMENTS

Reduction of lateral forces between the railway vehicle and the track in small-radius curves by means of active elements

This paper deals with a possibility of reduction of guiding forces magnitude in small-radius curves by means of active elements.These guiding forces characterize the lateral force interaction between the rail vehicle and the track and influence the wear of wheels and rails in curves.Their magnitudes are assessed in the framework of vehicle authoriz

Fusing Frontal and Occipital EEG Features to Detect “Brain Switch” by Utilizing Convolutional Neural Network

Flicker is the most widely used steady-state visual evoked potential (SSVEP) stimulus.In addition, checkerboard can induce steady-state motion visual evoked potential (SSMVEP) in the occipital area.More recently, the action video is proposed to simultaneously elicit SSMVEP and induce sensorimotor area activations via the mirror neuron systems throu

First Report of IMI-2-Producing Enterobacter bugandensis and CTX-M-55-Producing Escherichia coli isolated from Healthy Volunteers in Tunisia

The aim of this study was to characterize the prevalence of fecal carriage of extended-spectrum beta-lactamases and carbapenemase-producing Gram-negative bacteria among healthy humans in Tunisia.Fifty-one rectal swabs of healthy volunteers were plated on MacConkey agar plates supplemented with cefotaxime or imipenem.The occurrences of resistance ge

A case of clinical worsening after stereo-electroencephalographic-guided radiofrequency thermocoagulation in a patient with polymicrogyria

Radiofrequency thermocoagulation (RF-TC) is a wide-used procedure for drug-resistant epilepsy.The technique is considered safe with an overall risk of 1.1% of permanent complications, mainly focal neurological deficits.We report the case of a patient with drug-resistant epilepsy who complained of immediate seizure worsening and an unexpected event
